The power plant he ordered to stay open doesn't even work right now; a key valve broke on Dec. 19.
The order, issued Tuesday night by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, was criticized by Gov. Jared Polis, who said it will cost utility ratepayers more money because the plant needs millions of dollars in repairs to be brought back online. Colorado does not have an emergency need for electricity, the governor said in an emailed statement.
Sometimes, one wishes that this presumable Ukrainean special command of divers which dynamited that Russian pipeline under the Baltic sea delivering deadly stuff to Western Europe was actually a sabotage troop from another alien, spacefaring civilisation which tries to do the possible to restrain humanity from killing itself in the most brain-dead way imaginable.
Would make a story for a great board game at least... one could call it "Brother Civilization".
This sounds crazy but just don't comply, of the president doesn't need to follow the law neither does the state.
